[Hallicrafters] Homebrew Transmitter-Anyone Ever Seen This Circuit?

[Rich Oliver]

Dave,

Actually I may be able to shed some light on this rig; it matches a HB 
receiver I have.  The receiver was built by Lew Wilhelm, W7TB.  Lew died 
maybe 6-8 years ago and his gear was distributed by means of an estate 
auction.  I do not specifically recall that transmitter but I do have a 
video tape of Lew's shack before it was broken up and it might be in 
there.  Lew lived in Oak Creek Canyon, about a two hour drive from Phoenix.

What Hamfest did I miss??
